Re: Porter Davis homes 8530Nov 20, 2013 11:38 am Hubby just heard from our SS. Roofing is being done today (might need to do a drive by ). Bricks will start on Monday. Lock up is expected to be the 6th of Dec. Garage back wall frame is sorted and window taken away - so we'll get a door with a window sometime down the track if we feel we need it. Glad to know what is going on! Re: Porter Davis homes 8531Nov 20, 2013 12:00 pm inglewood Grrrr - what a pain - It's not fair that your SS has said something to you about it, he is obviously in the wrong if he's not happy about it, maybe he got his butt kicked and didn't like it We haven't made contact with our SS yet. He tried to call yesterday (on my mobile - annoying when I've told different people at PD several times not to call me and to call my husband b/c I can't take calls during the day) so hubby tried to call him back and could only leave a message. Hopefully we'll be able to touch base with him today. I'm also wondering how often you would expect to hear from and/or meet with them and when did they first contact you? I definitely think that is correct - he prob did get in trouble - but in fairness to him, none of the problems have been his fault. He has inherited most due to errors in plans / soil test etc.... That said, I feel I have a gun pointed at my head at the moment so will wait til things calm down from our "disagreement" on the phone this morning... Might reveal in my blog lol... Annoying....

Re: Porter Davis homes 8533Nov 20, 2013 12:06 pm clairemumto5 Hi Adj - we haven't had anything happen on site since staircase went in last thurs and friday. Bit frustrated. As far as SS goes - our calls every wednesday, and I will occasionally txt him at other time during the week and he will reply usually soon or call back, I try not to call him and just have a list of things to check with him when he calls on a wednesday, like our bc who sent us an update on monday which said cabinets were installed, so I rushed over excited to check but she must have been misinformed as no cabinets are in now that we can see. Both get back to me timely both are approachable, so have no complaints in that respect just feels like build is maybe put on the backburner while they maybe try finish ones that can be finished before chrissy which is annoying...but what can you do Lucky you! I started getting this type of information. The information hasn't been as forthcoming of late... My BC has just left. She was amazing... I haven't really had too much contact with the new one yet. Im sure she is fine. I just want my old BC to come back Re: Porter Davis homes 8534Nov 20, 2013 12:41 pm CountryLifestyle- yes, please start a thread!

Just had a look at your blog. It's all looking beautiful. We've chosen similar colours inside too! Love the tiles to the ceiling - wish we'd thought of that Re: Porter Davis homes 8539Nov 20, 2013 3:38 pm Had my regular wed call - this morning during work so I had to make it quick...tilers were onsite today - but due to some problems with the gutters they couldn't finish today the gutter man should be back to finish tomorrow and the tilers Friday which means garage and alfresco will be finished off, they did however replace the missing tile from roof where scaffolding had been...and renderer was onsite again today, the exterior should be mostly finished by end of next week apart from smaller things like painting doors etc. Delay on cabinetry...so it should be going in mid next week, but got to see the stairs properly today they come up good even if they are the standard ones. was nice to see stuff happening again, we never should have moved as close as we did Re: Porter Davis homes 8540Nov 20, 2013 3:50 pm Things are getting closer for us.
